Horribly Heartbreaking but Beautiful

I have never cried more for a drama. I had this premonition of a bittersweet ending, but I didn’t realise this was a complete tragedy. I can’t believe a love like theirs didn’t last - TVn, how do you want me to believe in true love now? I can’t believe they didn’t end up together, but at the same time “nothing lasts forever.” They were pure and were in love, but they weren’t meant to be. Even the friends didn’t end as strong as before. They grew up, and they grew apart. At least two ships sailed (MJW/KYR and SW). When SW said “we only see each other now for funerals” it broke me. How did BYJ still say he had hope for this world? Because after this ending, I sure as hell don’t. But I still have so many questions. Who was Minchae’s dad? What was with the scene about the tunnel at the end? I was waiting on the epilogue to show something, to beg them to get together again or for Minchae’s dad to at least show up, but no. TVn decided to rub it in more and utterly shatter my heart with the last scene “who is your first love? Na Heedo.” Because first love doesn’t last forever either. I just hope Heedo’s happy with whoever she married, even it wasn’t as happy with Yijin. They loved each other purely, but they weren’t meant to be. I blame “the times”.

My Heart Cannot Take This

All these hints… this was a really wholesome but heartbreaking episode at the same time and I don’t know what to say about it.On one hand, you can see Heedo and Yurim’s friendship lingering, but you can tell they’re no longer as close. Why is Yurim not reading Heedo’s emails? Homesickness is understandable, but it seems odd. I was glad for the reunion scene.Then you have Yijin whose too busy and his schedule now clashes with Heedo’s. They don’t have time for each other, and one thing couples need is to spend quality time together, however little. It’s like a repeat of Heedo’s mum, where she’s unable to make time for Heedo but really wants to. But this is Yijin, who has no familial ties to Heedo, meaning they could break up and never come back together again. There are just so many hints for them breaking up, like when Heedo said “my support is no longer reaching you” even though she promised to send her support wherever she/he was.And I have a few questions. Why did present-day Heedo visit the tunnel, if “nothing lasts forever”? Is it possibly Yijin has Heedo’s missing diary? Baek Yijin appearing in the present day would probably solve the entire mystery. I don’t know if I’m ready for this drama to end, but the same time I’ve been waiting since forever. And I really want to know what happened to Seungwan. I thought she and Baek Yijin’s brother had a possibility of getting together, but I don’t know anymore. I’m glad Jiwoong and Yurim are still going strong though.Ahh, Twenty Five Twenty One, you make me ensure whether to look forwards to or be worried for tomorrow.

"wow"ed me for sure

I don't know about the world, but they've definitely got me. The first episode just about killed me. I couldn't stop laughing. The whole premise of the introduction setup was so funny. Say what you want about 陈赫 but him walking in with a pink bunny around his waist was so adorable + his love for his daughter is so cute too and the new blue nails ！His the contrast to CXX waiting nervous nervously inside while he swirled the suitcase around outside make me giggle. 那一句“我们是在约会吗？“然后CXX那声尖叫 我真的绷不住了。还有他们两个跳舞。。。王玉雯好可爱蹦蹦跳跳来了太有青春感了而且也很能接受抽象。我好喜欢她！真可惜没有范丞丞 好想看范丞丞跟陈赫（还有邓超 求他去一趟五哈吧）

Fan ChengCheng Appreciation // Listen, I've never liked Wei DaXun but...

Fan ChengCheng really lights up the spotlight and brings Wei DaXun with him. The bromance?? They're clearly some kind of friends for Wei DaXun to literally just run into Cheng Cheng's room and sleep with him + Cheng Cheng so easily accepting it is so cute. Cheng Cheng might seem really 'bad' on the outside, but he's just a mischevious little boy whose SO SWEET GENUINELY: he kindly pays for LiChen and Baby while still maintaining his comedic image + he didn't kick Wei DaXun out from his room. He brings so much comedy along with BaiLu and ZhouShen; they're honestly some of the best cast member choices that the producing team could have made apart from bringing DengChao and co. back. This is definitely the peak of this season so far.

REN

I have four words: I love Renrawin Aira.He is the sole reason why standards for guys are so high these days. You know what, Gorya? You can keep Thyme, I want Ren. He's such an angel. I can't believe it's nearly the end. F4 is going as strong as ever, and it really shows the true definition of friendship. To have life-long friends like F4, you really couldn't ask for more.I'm glad Gorya and Thyme both start to understand the other's importance, and how they find happiness with each other. The ending was absolutely a plot-twist which I definitely did not see coming, despite having watched both Boys over Flowers and Meteor Garden. I'm glad this show keeps giving us something new compared to the old versions - no wonder why it's the superior version! It's refreshing to see the background stories of different characters, as well as having more people involved in the storyline rather than just the main leads. It makes the show so much more intriguing, and I'm all for it.

People I loved: DDG (drill king for a reason), 西部双子星 (I'm a sucker for fierce competitors. AND THE 新秀REFERENCE MY HEART), skyslimsKyoA, SIMBA (NOUS UNDERGROUND WELCOME WELCOME!!! I AM A FAN OF ANYONE THERE. also the PACT cameos during his part <3), Prince.Wang------------------------------------------------People I see potential in: UUX (no wonder XieDi last season kept picking Chongqing people damn), 八口Buck (it's such a shame he forgot the words... that shouldn't have happened. aww capper really wanted him too. I'm so glad that he didn't pull a Tao second chance), Cool-Aid (woah!! so much improvement from last year. I love the ferocity and punchlines), 叶尔林 (why did he reuse one. he had a good shot.), 儿几 (Tao confuses me so much. why didn't he get it? everyone agreed he should've got it...), BiP-T, Danny K (welcome back!! I loved his collab w/ VOB), Yellllow, blackthedevil (hello returner, I was rooting for you last year)---------------------------I'm a little bit against Tao for 韩铁牛 and 儿几 - both deserved a chance. But overall, I agree with quite a lot of his choices (especially against 三火flame). Some of the flows are so boring and easily memoriseable; I'm glad he's calling them out.
